To solve this, find all the two pair factors of 50
\n" ); document.write( "50 * -1 and -50 * 1
\n" ); document.write( "25 * -2 and -25 * 2
\n" ); document.write( "5 * -10 and -5 * 10 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For each pair, find the value of b that results from using that pair
\n" ); document.write( "Example (a + 50)(a -1) = a^2 +49a - 50 --> b=49
\n" ); document.write( "(a - 50)(a + 1) = a^2 -49a - 50 --> b=-49
\n" ); document.write( "Do the same for the other 4 pairs to find the other values of b
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
